Scattered Saturday

Holy Toledo---How long has it been since I posted???

Well I've been ill and we've all been a wee bit busy. I finally caught the virus that has been going around. It seems to be stuck in my sinuses and ear...which means I will probably get an ear infection. 32 year olds aren't supposed to get ear infections.

A. seems to be doing a little bit better at school. At the PTSO meeting the announced "SnapGrades" which essentially the teacher's grade book is now online and I will know what A. is doing and what assignments he has or has not turned in. A.'s teacher will also know when I have checked to look. Can any one say "BIG BROTHER"? Actually I guess I don't mind this. I think it is going to be more stressful for teachers than less stressful.

A. also started Karate this week. The class is really late. He will be up past regular bedtime. But he enjoys doing it and I feel like that it should continue so lateness will be excused this time and only this time.

N.'s teacher "got me" when I took in snacks last Friday. I ended up with 2 projects when I left. Crazy!!! But totally fun. It is so fun to get into the Kindergarten class.

So my parents are on their way to NEBRASKA for a week. My brother is going to sell his place and he needed help getting the place cleaned up sooooo this is how my parents spend their vacation time.

My cousin Val's boyfriend died this week suddenly of heat stroke. They were having the viewing today. I was torn between going and not going. The drive was long and since my parents are gone I didn't feel comfortable staying at their house. I know Val will understand but still I probably should have ditched the birthday party to go today. But seeing as how I wasn't feeling 100% and the list of things I need to is a mile long we decided not to make the drive. It is incredibly sad when someone young dies. 44 years old! TOO YOUNG!!

Today's Dinner Plan--Frozen Spaghetti sauce (sorry but dinner out last night, don't feel up to cooking---resorting to freezer meals)
